My 4month old Macbook pro wont turn on unless plugged in, but remains on after unplugged.

I got a brand new macbook pro 4months old. What happens is it does not turn un unless it is plugged in when I unplug it though it is fine and will run till it dies, BUT if I were to close it and put it to sleep it will not turn back on. I would have to plug it back in and turn it on then I can unplug it and it will be fine till it falls back asleep.
Once I do turn it back on, a pop up says that I need to re adjust the clock and another trying to search for the internet, even if I was already connected with is 5 min ago. Even apps like tweetdeck and facbook would reset and I would have to enter all my information again, where as before it would just remain there.
I have NO idea why it is like this and I am not really familiar with a Mac and its OS but any information would be greatly appreciate!
Thanks!
Yoshi

Bring it to an Apple store or AASP. You are under warranty.

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector? That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty. Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look. They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

HT4972 My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall

My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall not the computer but when i plug it into the computer and put it in DFU mode it wont restore there is an error 3194 and error 1602 and nothing i do helps

Here's what I found about error 1602:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert,update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194 is also seen when somebody is trying to restore jailbroken devices.

TS3499 My 2012 Macbook Pro recognizes that it is plugged in but says not charging.

My 2012 Macbook Pro recognizes that it is plugged in but says not charging. The LED light on the L shaped power adapter is not illuminated. I've tried cleaning it, updating my software, everything on this Apple support page: Portables: L-shaped MagSafe power adapter does not charge computer and LED indicator light does not illuminate
Is there anything else I can try before I have to take it into the Apple Store? I live in a rural area and it is about a 3 hour trip to the nearest Apple Store.

I have also reset the SMC with no avail. :/

Macbook pro wont turn on

I've updated the maverick software which required a retart. on restart my macbook pro 13" (mid 2012) keeps freezing and shutting itself down after mid way loading. if i try to turn it on again it freezes on the grey screen with apple logo loading...HELP i cant get past this!
Previous to this my mac has been running very slow for some unknown reason since i have moved to mexico.

OK... so in order to not mess that drive up any more than it already is, you need to get some things. That's going to include some tools (cheap), an external enclosure (cheap) and another hard drive (not as cheap). The tools and enclosure together will be around $20 and a 1 tb hard drive is around $80. I'll give you the exact stuff to get from Amazon if you want. Are you still game?
By the way, if you want to make it a LOT faster than what it was even new, an SSD is much faster than a hard drive. Costs more, of course. Do you know how big your existing drive is?

Macbook pro wont connect to internet using cable, but connects using wifi fine

My macbook pro wont connect to the internet using a cable, but connects using wifi fine. I use wifi at home but sometimes need to use my laptop at work and connect using a cable but it says i'm not connected to the internet?

Can you open a terminal and invoke the following commands:
ping -c 10 localhost
and
ping -c 10 google.com

HT1296 I just bought a new MacBook Pro and moved data over from my old MacBook Pro. Everything seemed fine at first but Outlook 2011 for Mac will not run. It just flashes the Outlook logo briefly and then closes. Help!

Everything seemed to work fine after moving everything over from my old MacBook Pro at first but I cannot run Outlook 2011 for Mac. The logo displays briefly and then the app closes. It never really even gets anything loaded other than the little logo.

Try removing and reinstalling Outlook
Next try posting in a more appropriate forum. this is the iPod touch forum

New Macbook Pro Wont turn after discharge

Hello everyone,
I just purchased my 3rd mac in the past 2 years, yeah that's how hooked I am, now windows free 99% and love it...
My brand new macbook pro has a very annoying issue.. if I use it on battery power and it discharges completely I have to wait up to 15 minutes after connecting it to power to be able to turn it back on again. this is so frustrating as I am sometimes doing some work and have to get away from the computer for a few minutes.. If it discharges within that time and I come back to continue my work guess what.. I need to wait all this time even after connecting it to power to resume my work...
Does anyone has the same problem? is this normal? I've searched google and haven't found the same problem on anyone else unless they are OK with that and just don't report it... I've never had this problem with any other laptop I own and is extremely annoying, my wife's macbook doesn't do that, if it discharges and goes to sleep you can just connect the magsafe adapter and it will come right back up.
your comments will be greatly appreciated.

My MBP has always come back immediately. So has my old iBook. I rarely discharge my battery completely, but will do so on occasion to calibrate it. But I have never had the problem you describe. My personal opinion is that the long delay is definitely not normal.
Out of curiosity, next time your Mac shuts down like this, remove the battery and see if it will start up immediately. If it does, you could possibly have a faulty battery. If it still takes a lot of time to start up with the battery removed, there is something else wrong. I have never heard of anything quite like this. Since you didn't mention excessive heat, that wouldn't be a factor.
Be sure you can reproduce the condition for the Apple genius. They have to see it to be able to do anything. Go in a bit early with a low battery and run it out in the store, so you can show them exactly what it is doing.
Good luck!

My Macbook PRO wont turn on!!!

Hi Guys,
My Macbook Pro went to sleep due to no battery last night. When I woke up today, I pluged in the power cord to my Laptob and It shows me that the battery is full now.
However, I'm unable to turn my Macbook Pro on. I purchased this laptob only a few weeks ago so It is not the old version. I tried to reset the SMC as well, but It does not work. I dont hear the spinning of the hard drive nor any of its fan...It looks completeley dead and I cannt turn it on. The battery light shows full battery...But it just dead.
Can any one help with that?

Personally, I would not troubleshoot a "new" computer that will not start. Especially one that is "weeks" old. You are still under warranty and I strongly suggest that you take advantage of your 90 days of FREE phone tech support from Apple. Call them asap!!
Good luck!

Macbook Pro wont turn on - sometimes

I have mid-2009, 13 inch Macbook Pro. Recently I am noticing trouble. Once in a while when I put it to sleep by closing the lid, the light stays lit (which is suppose to go on and off indicating sleep). And when I open the lid, there is nothing on the screen and the light goes away. I close the lid, again the light lits up and stays up. So the macbook wont turn on.
Does anyone have any idea why is this? I sometimes keep the power button pressed for 5-6 seconds and force shutdown and boot again and then it works. Is it a good idea? is there any other way in these situation?
Is there something wrong in the hardware?
Please help ...

Sachadon,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you try to wake your computer when opening the lid have you tried tapping one of the keys on the keyboard to wake it?
If that does not work then try doing a SMC reset follow these instructions.
SMC RESET
It is possible you are having hardware problems with the lid sensor but let try some other steps first.
Regards,
Roger
